running songs |
any runners out there? I have all kinds of music on my ipod
some songs just rock you out and get you pumped up
others get you in the grove, where your strides are in beat with the song. Big RR Blues here from San Diego
is one of those songs that is perfect for finding your stride
what are your songs and versions that do the same for you?

Re: running songs |
Nice post. As previouly mentioned a good Scarlet>Fire fits well, as does a good Estimated>Eyes from the day- 9/3/77 maybe?
Also like mining 90's first sets for good Dylan covers of the 10 minute variety, like 'Stuck Inside of Mobile' and 'Desolation Row.' (Those covers mature and come into their own in the 90s imo).
A good 'Music Never Stopped' also works for me. When that tune is good and wound up- towards the end -I'm not sure my feet touch the ground much.

Surprised me, but Stagger Lee is the perfect tempo for running.

Re: running songs |
I used to LOVE listening to GD music on walks and bike rides. I found when walking to the Eyes>Dancin from 3/19/77, it has the perfectly paced beat for a brisk walk.
I used to keep a little notebook with a list of TDIH dates, and would write down what I listened to and where I rode or walked, how far, how long, etc. Sortof an exercise/music journal. Then I got outta shape. But I'm gonna get back on the horse this summer, I hope.

Re: running songs |
Grateful Dead music in general make an amazing soundtrack for any run. I run anywhere from 20-30 miles a week and listen to the Grateful Dead exclusively for every mile. I use this time to give a serious listen to whatever show I'm listening to and the music usually dictates the pace whether I knowingly do it or not.
From personal experience, the Europe 72 discs provide a perfect running companion for a 5-6 mile run.

Re: running songs |
Especially Stella Blue. A beautiful song in the right setting but not exactly a marathoners anthem.Sorry for the sarcasim but I don't see running to the Greatful Dead as a common past time.About Stella Blue, they brought it out in mid set at the DAY ON THE GREEN show opening for the WHO . I do like the song inside at a theater not in the broiling sun whilting away. As I've said before the Dead were at best mediocre that day w/ the Who playing rings around them.I could see running to GOING MOBILE......LW

Re: running songs |
Nothing to contribute, as the knees complain these days if I run for more than a minute or so.
But on a similar subject, what about something to mutter to oneself* during the golf swing? I was humming Paul Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years" during my round today and it was - as you might expect, despite being such a lovely song - no help at all! Some Dead would be nice. Hard To Handle sums up my relationship with the driver at the moment. You Win Again, The Eleven, hmm there could be quite a list.
* still not out of the closet on the matter of Deadheadness at the golf club? Me neither....

Re: running songs |
Generally I like it quiet when I run - kind of go into a trance. But Marley's "Exodus" is good.

Re: running songs |
How about Brokedown Palace? That would fit the average age group around here :-)
Or Row Jimmy. (Gonna get there? I dunno ...)
Don't know about running, but I used to time it so I’d do a treadmill for a set of GD, and found that 80s were often a good, energizing match. Right now my only real exercise is hiking, but that's definitely No IPod Time. I just refuse to hike with electronics in my ear. Workouts or running would be another matter, though, what with being implicitly boring and all :-)
How about some inspiration: Candyman? To Lay Me Down?

Re: running songs |
You are cracking me up.
I run (well, okay, "running" would be an exaggeration, but I stagger/shuffle/limp around the track a few times) very early in the morning and I'm sometimes the only person at the track. I figure I need to be aware of everything around me so I don't use the Ipod then. Also, if I listen to music, I speed up, which you'd think would be a good thing, but it's not for me, because if I do more than my old-lady shuffle-jog, my the knees will complain later.

Re: running songs |
Definitely Stagger Lee for you then!
Or the version of Oh Babe it Ain't No Lie that goes:
One old woman, Lord, in this town
Keep a-trying to run that track
Wish to my soul that old woman would pick up her speed
Keep a-trying to run that track
Of course, I can't laugh. I don't even a-try :-)

Re: running songs |
LOL! Good one. There must be people at the track who think that when they see me coming. There are people who pass me *walking*. Not to mention the athletic young people, who are like speeding bullets. But I keep going!

Re: running songs |
exactly right about hiking being a no electronics zone. i hike all the time and when i run into people on the trail looking at their cell phones or mp3 players i just can't figure out why.
Running is definitely a different story since it isn't nearly as fun and you don't have the time to look around and drink in everything around you.

Re: running songs |
Yeah, that's my husband. Just his Blackberry, nothing else. But he once answered his Blackberry on the back of an elephant crossing a river. "Oh, can't talk now, I'm on the back of an elephant crossing a river." Classic. At least he didn't get into a conversation, or I'd have tossed the Blackberry into the river.

Re: running songs |
How about the obvious 77-78 Scarlet-Fire combos they always did it for me with Phil thumping away. Galactic's from the corner to the block was one of my favorites when I was running alot a couple of years ago nice steady beats for 45 min.

DeadSet on my IPod has great sound. As does the Reckoning Acoustic CD. Both from 1980 Warfield/Radio City!!! Great sound to move you along.
